The Experiences and Challenges of Online Learning for Chinese Students and the Impact of Online Learning on Student’s Motivation

Abstract

The massive COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on people's lives all over the globe, but it has also posed significant difficulties for educational systems since students were required to complete their coursework at home. Therefore, this study aims to examine how students and related personnel perceive online learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to thoroughly discuss students' motivation for learning. According to the study, despite the epidemic's rapid reform, online learning still faces some challenges, including issues with young children’s or primary school students’ self-control as well as the need for electronic devices to enable students in remote areas to pursue online learning and environmental factors. In addition, factors like the adaptability of courses and the variety of learning resources offered by online learning can help students feel more motivated. The study discovered that online students do not have the time to interact with their professors and that some process volatility will also have a detrimental effect on students’ motivation to learn. As a result, this study concludes with forward-thinking recommendations and fixes for the issues.
